Why to read only the Email when we open our inbox? Google wants to offer users the ability to perform multiple tasks directly from their email like responding to a survey or making an appointment.
Google will get this result by bringing its AMP technology, Accelerate Mobile Page, within Gmail, which now has more than a billion users and over 270 billion emails sent every day.
In the official announcement Google declares that this new feature will allow marketers to create interactive experiences that can create engagement from the email itself.
The idea is to allow people to complete more tasks from their inbox, without changing page or application. To give an example, Google itself announced a partnership with Pinterest and Booking.com with which it’s building experience for the release of AMP for Gmail.
